01.03.1995	Spurs staged an amazing comeback in this FA Cup 5th Round Replay with Ronny Rosenthal becoming a Tottenham hero. After being 0-2 down at the break, Ronny Rosenthal's cracking 56th minute drive from Barmby's cross put Spurs back in the match and a second similar goal two minutes later from the Israeli flew past Grobelaar at great speed from 30 yards took Tottenham level and the game into extra time.

07.02.1993	Nothing more different from the opening day of the season could have been imagined in the return game at the Lane. SCBC went ahead when a tackle on a forward in the area took the ball into the path of Iain Dowie, who scored at the far post. Going into the second half, Spurs equalised on 55 minutes, when Anderton's left wing free-kick found Sheringham creeping in behind Dowie to head home at far post past Flowers. Then within a minute, Anderton put in a high ball that came off Benali's head. Teddy hit a volley that was going well wide, until Barmby raced in to slide the ball in to put Tottenham ahead. Flowers could only palm out a cross by Samways from the left wing and Anderton shot over Benali's head on the line to make it 3-1 on 58 minutes. Then straight from the kick-off, Spurs moved the ball forward and Samways squared a pass for Sheringham to power home his shot from 14 yards to make it four goals in 4 minutes and 44 seconds - a Premier League quick scoring record. Even then, the action had not finished, because Barmby went for a ball in the 61st minute that saw Benali charge in with his elbow and as Barmby was helped off, the SCBC defender was shown the red card. Against the run of play, the visitors grabbed a consolation goal in the 67th minute as Richard Hall headed a goal from a corner unchallenged.

However, Clive Allen netted to hand Spurs a 5-3 win. Spurs : Mabbutt, Galvin, C. Allen, Waddle So'ton : Granger, , , , , , , , Maskell Ref : Attendance : 13,036
17.12.1985	This match drew little interest as the Sports Screen Super Cup was devised to take the place of the European matches teams who would have qualified for Europe in the wake of the Heysel disaster missed out on. A ninth minute close range finish from Mark Falco put Tottenham ahead after keeper Phil Kite had saved a Clive Allen header. On 20 minutes, Ossie Ardiles played a long ball through for Clive Allen to run onto and score the second, while Danny Wallace pulled one back for the home side after 35 minutes by shooting in from Steve Moran's low ball in from the wing. Tottenham's win was secured by David Leworthy's header that powerfully met Gary Mabbutt's cross late on in the game. So'ton : Kite, Danny Wallace, Spurs : Mabbutt, Ardiles, Falco, C.

06.04.1968	Tottenham hit Southampton for six in this First Division meeting at White Hart Lane. After half an hour, Cliff Jones struck Spurs into the lead, but the quiet first half had not foretold of the second half goal avalanche. Following the turn-around, Alan Mullery, Martin Chivers and Jimmy Greaves made it 4-0 to Spurs, before Dennis Hollywood put the ball into his own net off his chest and Greaves' second goal of the game was converted from the penalty spot. The Saints got a consolation near the end through Ron Davies, who headed home past Jennings. Spurs : Jennings, , , , , Mullery, , , Cliff Jones, Greaves, Chivers So'ton : Hollywood, , , , , , , , R.

11.11.1967	Spurs implemented a new defensive set-up, which worked well as they took both points back to North London from the South Coast. A fine first time effort from Jimmy Robertson shot Tottenham into the lead in the first half, before that advantage was doubled when Gilzean scored just after the interval. Southampton pulled a goal back from Martin Chivers, who was the number 8 for the Saints that day, but despite a valiant effort, the home side could not salvage a draw.

Ron Davies put Saints ahead, but Alan Mullery equalised, then two goals from Cliff Jones and another from Dave Mackay put Spurs 4-1 up at the break. When Davies hit the away side's second goal, it looked like a comeback might be on the cards, but Jimmy Greaves put away a penalty, completing the Spurs total. Terry Paine got a late consolation third for Southampton, but Spurs ran out comfortable winners. Martin Chivers, played in stripes that day and terrorised the Tottenham defence, in a game of many more chances than those that ended in the net.

02.04.1949	Southampton were top of the table when they came to White Hart Lane and showed why, with Charlie Wayman scoring the only goal of the game, late on after a Ted Bates pass had put him in on goal. Unfortunately, he had already been injured in the match and got injured further in scoring, having to be helped from the pitch straight after. While Southampton won the game, their six point lead at the top of the league was eaten away as the loss of Wayman and a flu epidemic hit the club, seeing them finish the season in third place.
